Share Your Orders Thread

I was tempted to do a Teavana order with their crazy sales, but went with Butiki http://www.butikiteas.com/ as I know I won’t be disappointed, plus a couple of the teas I wanted to try were just put on sale!

These were my first tea orders in a while – I’m trying to make sure my stash doesn’t get out of control, since I have so little space and I’ve already had a problem with some teas contaminating others (mainly jasmine stuff). I did just buy some of those nice tins from Specialty Bottles to hopefully keep everything stored better.

doh..that sucks. Not sure how that would happen – Red Leaf is generally damn good about things like that. Hopefully something in the box is tasty for you while you wait for the correct order (i’m assuming they let you keep the mistake of course) heh.

I just took advantage of the sale from Whispering Pines. I ordered Dark Chocolate Oolong, the Fantastic Five sampler, several Imperial Shou Puerh Tuocha, and Ancient Forests. I’m super excited about my order, but even more excited about the extra 2 oz of tea (mystery tea!) from the promotion.

Well, I thought I had missed out on the Davids Tea year-end promotion. I lucked out and ordered their q-teapot in Fire Red at 50% off today. So excited about it! (I also tossed in a couple of tea tins since I need more for my Black Friday tea purchases.)

Well I don’t know what made me do it – I really REALLY do not need more tea but one really grabbed my eye then I had to add another because 5 dollars shipping is not worth it for one tea. So I got:
Vanilla Orchid 50 g

Brazillionaire 50 g

I really wanted the Vanilla Orchard after seeing Michelle’s review on this I knew I had to get some. Then because I LOVE Brazil nuts I grabbed the other.

HAHA! Azzrian would put everything in her cart then trim it down to just a few that she REALLYKNOWS she MUST have and enough to make the shipping worth it and save the rest in a note to self for another time :)

Hahahahaha. Well, at least you picked ones that are good IMO! Vanilla Orchid is a nice flavoured green oolong, and Brazillionaire was much tastier than I anticipated. Enough so that I’d like more (but can’t justify).

Whenever I make a DT order that doesn’t hit $50, I throw in gift cards, haha. SO I got $30 of gift cards with my Boxing Day order…

That is a great Idea Kittenna but ummm when would your order NOT hit 50? I mean I could easily spend 50 anytime haha. That is if I let myself :)
So if you are going to spend the money anyway why not get the tea?
Huh? Huh? LOL

Well, living near a store means that I prefer to pick up small amounts of tea, so instead of ordering big 50g bags online, I go in and get 8g samples of everything new :D There’s actually only one new tea for me right now though! The January TOTM.

Heh well that tea company who shall not be named teavana does the same thing. And there are multiple stores in Toronto with the same policy. I think it’s ridiculously stupid since if I can pick up samples, i’ll walk out with 10+ and likely come back to buy a bag of 1-2 later…if i can’t do that, then I generally don’t buy anything unless a wonderful person has swapped with me before.
